  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 burritos

Ingredients

Main Components:

1 lb ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternative)

2 cups frozen tater tots

6 large flour tortilla wraps

Cheese & Sauces:

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup Taco Bell chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)

Seasonings & Optional Toppings:

Salt and pepper to taste

Diced tomatoes (optional)

Chopped green onions (optional)

Cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Cook the Tater Tots: While the beef is cooking, bake the tater tots according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.

  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and Taco Bell chipotle sauce. Adjust the sauce to your taste.

  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas. In the center of each, add a portion of cooked beef, a few tater tots, and a generous sprinkle of cheddar and monterey jack cheese.

  5. Add Sauce: Drizzle the chipotle sauce mixture over the cheese. Add optional toppings like diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro for extra flavor.

  6. Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito.

  7. Serve: Serve immediately, or toast the burritos in a skillet for 2 minutes on each side to crisp up the outside.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Replace ground beef with a plant-based alternative, such as lentils or vegetarian meat substitutes.

Spicy Kick: Add extra jalapeƱos, hot sauce, or chili powder to the filling for more heat.

Swap the Tater Tots: Use hash browns or roasted potato cubes for a different texture.

Cheese Variations: Experiment with pepper jack for extra heat or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
